In practice, I suspect this means applicants will lie about who made AI-generated inventions, the PTO will let them, and those patents will be in trouble if and when they are enforced in court.

Sure - thousands of Canadians still cross the border every day and have no issue. But all it takes is a few high profile horror stories to make people think a holiday in the U.S. just isn't worth the risk and expense.

What makes a banana republic a banana republic is not any prosecution of the outgoing administration, but baseless, politically motivated prosecution. There is a whole literature which teaches that, if crimes against the public order occurred, failing to prosecute them hastens democratic decline.
